Accessories

For beautiful, long-lasting and well-maintained hair extensions, it’s not just the extensions themselves that matter. The right extension accessories make it easier to apply, style, remove, store and care for your hair extensions. Depending on the method, you’ll need different tools: clip-in extensions are attached differently to tape extensions, bond extensions or extensions with nano and micro rings. That’s exactly why at Global Extend you’ll find accessories tailored to each specific method of application.

Whether you’re applying your extensions at home, having them fitted professionally at a salon, or simply want to replace individual extension pieces – with the right accessories, you’ll work with greater precision and be able to handle your hair extensions to the best of your ability. From replacement clips and tapes, through bond removers, keratin and heat irons, to rings, needles, pliers, extension brushes and colour rings, you’ll find practical products here for all aspects of applying and caring for your extensions.

The accessories on our website are categorised according to their respective application methods, so you can quickly find the products that are truly suitable for your hair extensions. This isn’t just convenient, it’s also important, as the adhesive, keratin and ring methods differ significantly in technical terms. For example, pliers designed for tape-ins serve a different purpose to those designed for keratin bonds. If you know which method you’re using, you can therefore select replacement parts and extension tools specifically for that purpose and avoid unnecessary mispurchases.

Clip-in extensions are one of the most flexible methods of hair extension, as they can be attached to and removed from your own hair without a permanent bond. To ensure you can use your clip-ins comfortably in the long term, it’s worth investing in the right accessories for clip-in extensions. Replacement clips are handy if an existing clip is damaged or no longer closes securely. That way, you don’t have to replace the whole set straight away.

A suitable storage bag is a good idea for keeping your extensions tidy. You can store your clip-in extensions neatly in it when you’re not using them. This helps to prevent unnecessary tangling and protects the hair from dust and other environmental factors. Before using them, you can gently detangle the clip-ins with an extension brush and then attach them to your hair as usual. This means that accessories for clip-ins are designed primarily for flexibility, organisation and easy reuse.

With bond extensions, individual strands are attached to the client’s hair via keratin bonds. There are therefore specialised bonding accessories for this method, designed for application, re-bonding and removal. Keratin bonds or keratin granules can be used, for example, when extensions need to be re-bonded with keratin. A heat iron is used to heat and shape the keratin bond.

Suitable tools are also important when working close to the scalp. Protective templates and finger protection help ensure precise work, whilst hair grippers can secure individual sections of hair. When bonded extensions need to be removed, a bond remover and a pair of removal pliers are used. A fine-toothed comb can then help to remove any remaining adhesive residue from the hair. Anyone who uses or reuses bond extensions regularly will therefore find that the right extension tools provide solutions for several stages of the process – from preparation and attachment to removal.

Tape-in extensions are attached to your own hair using flat adhesive strips. When the extensions are moved up, you need to apply new adhesive. Replacement tapes are therefore among the most important products in the range of accessories for tape-ins. Depending on the desired method, individual tape strips, single tapes or tape on a roll are available. These allow the adhesive surfaces to be properly prepared for reapplication.

Special pliers can be used to ensure proper hold of the adhesive. A suitable remover is required to remove the extensions; our range includes, amongst other things, bond removers and an electric tape remover. A fine-toothed comb helps to remove any adhesive residue, whilst hair grippers can assist in sectioning the hair. Having the right tape extension accessories is particularly important if you wish to re-apply the extensions once they have grown out and require new, clean adhesive.

Nano ring extensions are attached using very small rings. To fit and reattach them, you will therefore need, above all, the right nanorings and suitable tools. Depending on the application, nanorings are available with or without silicone. The rings form the connection between your own hair and the extensions and can be replaced when the extensions are moved up.

A loop needle enables you to thread hair through the nano ring. The ring is then closed using nano/microring pliers. The right pliers are also an essential tool when opening and removing the rings.

Hair grippers can help to neatly separate individual sections. Anyone who wears or applies nanoring extensions should therefore always have a sufficient supply of spare rings and the appropriate accessories to hand.

With micro-ring extensions, the hair is attached mechanically using small rings, without any adhesive. The most important micro-ring accessories therefore consist of rings, a tool for threading the rings and a pair of pliers. Micro-rings are required when inserting or adjusting the extensions and should be selected to suit the specific technique.

A loop needle or micro-ring needle is used to thread strands of the client's hair through the rings. Nano/microring pliers are then used to close the rings and, if necessary, to open them again. The individual steps become much clearer if the required tools are ready and to hand before application. This makes these accessories suitable both for regular move-ups and for replacing individual connection points.

Wefts can be attached in different ways depending on the technique. For methods where a weft is sewn onto a prepared micro-ring base, specialised weft accessories are recommended. These include, for example, tear-resistant thread, a curved needle, a loop needle, micro-rings and hair grippers. The colour of the rings and the thread should match the root colour of the wefts.

A suitable pair of pliers is also required. The rings are placed in the client’s hair and form the foundation to which the hair weft can then be sewn onto. The right accessories for hair wefts therefore support neat, organised work and bring together the most important tools for the respective application method.

Regardless of the method of application, a suitable hair brush is one of the most important everyday essentials. Specialised extension brushes are designed to detangle hair extensions without unnecessary pulling. You can choose from different sizes depending on your preference. A rat tail comb is also handy for precise sectioning – for example, when applying or styling hair extensions.

A hair colour ring is particularly helpful when choosing the right colour. As on-screen colours can vary depending on the display and lighting, a colour ring allows for a direct comparison with your own hair. This is particularly useful if you’re torn between similar shades or if you work with clients in a salon.

Brushes, combs and colour rings complement technical extension accessories by providing essential tools for care, preparation and colour selection.

The right accessories make many of the steps involved in hair extensions easier. The required products depend primarily on the extension method. The tools required for clip-ins differ from those needed for tape-in, bonding, nano or micro-ring extensions. If you’re working with hair wefts, you’ll need specialised weft accessories, whilst brushes, combs and colour-coded rings are useful across all methods.

This allows you to search specifically for spare parts, tools and accessories that suit your hair extension method – from replacement clips, tapes and keratin to rings, pliers and extension brushes.
